Title: System and method for intelligent cruise control using standard engine control modes
Inventor: CHAKRABORTY SHUBHAYU
IPC: G01S13/93
Filed: 1996-02-29
Abstract: A  system  and  method  for  implementing  an intelligent cruise control using standard engine control modes includes a distance sensor (58) to determine the distance and closing rate relative to a forward vehicle and use this information to implement a distance control mode and a speed control mode.   The distance control mode maintains a selectable headway range relative to a forward vehicle and may include accelerating the vehicle or decelerating the vehicle by defueling, engaging an engine   brake   (retarder),   or   downshifting   the transmission (T) when engine speed permits.  The speed control mode maintains a selectable cruising speed if no target vehicle is detected.   This cruising speed set point also functions as an upper limit while in the distance control mode.  The system and method effect the intelligent cruise control functions utilizing control logic  (72)  external to the electronic engine control module (40) utilizing the engine speed control mode or engine speed and torque limiting control mode of  SAE J1922 or SAE J1939 standards.  Alternatively, a cruise control limit speed may be broadcast via SAE J1587 to reduce the vehicle speed upon approaching a forward vehicle  so  as  to  reduce  the  need  for  driver intervention.   The invention may periodically switch between engine control modes to avoid any control mode timeout imposed by some engine manufacturers.

Patent CA-2184401-A1 (CA)
Title: Multiframe structure and handling protocol for a telecommunication network
Inventor: DURVAUX MARC MARIE GISHLAIN
IPC: H04N7/173
Filed: 1996-08-28
Abstract: The multiframe structure is adapted to transmit narrowband telephony signals over a broadband cable link (BCL) carrying also video or television signals. The telephony transmission occurs according to classical telephony protocols such as the channel associated signalling (CAS) or the common channel signalling (CCS) protocols, which are mapped into the multiframe structure. The multiframe is transmitted according to the time division multiple access (TDMA) technique and each frame thereof has 40 time slots (TS00-TS39) carrying bursts of data. The frames include time slots carrying signalling bursts (S01-S30; S01-S04) of telephony signalling information and time slots carrying traffic bursts (D01-D30; C01-C36) of telephony traffic data. For the CCS, the time slots (TS00-TS03) carrying signalling bursts (S01-S04) are grouped within the frames so as to form a wideband common channel, whilst for the CAS, time slots (TS04, TS09, TS14, ..., TS39) carrying signalling bursts are separated by four time slots carrying traffic bursts (D01-D30) and are distributed over all the frames of the multiframe structure on a periodic basis. The multiframe handling protocol is adapted to the above multiframe structure wherein at least one time slot (TS00-TS01; TS00-TS03) per frame carries a control burst of cable link operation signalling which is exchanged between a telephony access node (TAN) and subscriber stations (HOME) via the broadband cable link (BCL). The telephony access node (TAN) is adapted to load the address of a subscriber station into one of the time slots carrying control bursts and each subscriber station is adapted torecognise its own address in these time slots. When a subscriber station has recognised its own address in one of the time slots carrying control bursts, anykind of information may be exchanged between the telephony access node and the subscriber station through this one time slot.

Inventor: ATKINSON GEOFFREY FRASER
IPC: E06C7/18
Filed: 1995-03-31
Abstract: A vertical fall arrest device is disclosed which combines in a single unit the means to arrest a fall, the capability to automatically traverse intermediate support means provided along a safety line, and ease of attachment to or detachment from the safety line at any point throughout its length. In the attached condition, in which a safety line (30) is captured in retaining recess (60), the device is always in a ready state to lock-on to the safety line in the event of a fall. The device is removed from the safety line by depressing release catch (44) against spring pressure and at the same time pulling wheel (42) in a direction away from body member (41). Movement of the wheel must also be effected against biasing pressure. This combined operation creates an opening for withdrawal of safety line (30). When the external forces are relaxed, internal springs (47a and 47b) ensure that both the wheel (42) and the release catch (44) return to their fully locked conditions.

Title: Tire having flow isolating grooves
Inventor: WHITE TIMOTHY ANDREW
IPC: B60C11/04
Filed: 1997-01-07
Abstract: A tire having a decreased percentage of void and superior  wear  abilities,  yet  still  having  improved  wet traction ability is disclosed.   The improved wet traction ability is enhanced by the flow isolating characteristic of the minor grooves of the tire.   By reducing the amount of water  flow  between  the  major  and  minor  grooves  for  a prescribed period during which the major grooves evacuate water away from the tire, there is a reduction in the volume and nature of turbulence due to the intersecting water flows exiting the minor grooves into the major grooves.   This reduction of turbulence allows for fluid to be properly channeled away from the contact patch area by their major grooves.
